Having focussed so far on just trying to grow herbs in some quantity, without spending much time on scheduling according to weekly needs, I recently found myself with a lot of basil. The obvious thing to do was to make a lot of pesto, eat a lot of pesto, and give the excess away to friends. Having made three large batches I now think i’ve improved my pesto-making skills to a satisfactory point, but I think there will be many more opportunities to practice given how well basil grows in this system.
